Re: Drones, quadcopters, and FPV flight
We're going streaking in the quad!
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Re: Drones, quadcopters, and FPV flight
Saw a piece last week and forgot to post here. Seems some European country is using drones to monitor people out breaking confinement and/or not observing social . They had a clip of it working and it made me think of a combo of Robocop and Blade Runner with the massive serious voice! It needs to have low level laser to get the attention of those that aren't responding. Thought you guys would like the new use.

I think that’s Chinese drones being used in 22 US states.

Re: Drones, quadcopters, and FPV flight
Not sure that I'm too concerned about the Chinese stealing secrets via drone. I am very concerned about our governments using them for surveillance on people without a warrant.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 7:04 pmYou could right on this one, too.

Re: Drones, quadcopters, and FPV flight
Uh-Oh! Bad news for drones that fly into controlled airspace.
US Navy
The USS Portland disabled a flying drone with a "solid state laser" in the Pacific Ocean.
Videos showed the Northrup Grumman-developed 150-kilowatt-class Laser Weapon System Demonstrator (LWSD) destroying the drone.
